Shitbag:

Here's the entire definition (below)....The US and the allies have invaded Libyan airspace and dropped bombs on air defense sites, armored vehicles and other fixed targets.....Are you really so fukking stupid as ted as to beleive that the US and allies have no operators on the ground....?

And BTW, Reagan's Libya op. was a one shot deal....Obambi is continuing to bomb and the "no-fly zone" commitment is open-ended.

Try not to sound like such a moron in the future.

No, it's an invasion when you send in ground troops. Did REAGAN "invade" Lybia when he did the same thing in 1986? NO..

The act of invading, especially the entrance of an armed force into a territory to conquer.


Well, if "conquering" is a requirement I suppose you would agree that GWB didn't "invade" Iraq?

How many ? does one count ? so when Obama sends in a 100 will you say it's not an invasion unless you sent in 101 or some other number ?
